Preserve Marriage Washington has been asking churches to collect ‘all [cash] envelopes from donors, put them in a larger mailing envelope, put your church name and return address on the mailing envelopes and send it via regular US mail [to us]’

According to Washington’s state Public Disclosure Commission no third party organization can legally be an intermediary for a political donation.

Churches can urge parishioners to donate and hand out donation envelopes to parishioners but parishioners must either hand the envelopes to a representative of Preserve Marriage Washington themselves or post them to the organization.

But a spokesperson for Preserve Marriage Washington denied they were in breach of the state’s political contribution laws.
